Calgary HeraldAlberta's energy minister says she is undertaking a "holistic" evaluation of the electricity sector that will include the plan for phasing out coal-fired power plants.
But Marg McCuaig-Boyd declined to say whether her government is proceeding with a PC plan to implement the recommendations of a blue-ribbon panel that was appointed by the Alison Redford government to reduce the volatility of electricity prices and bolster consumer protection.

CBC NewsAlberta is literally and figuratively built on a mountain of coal.
For the past 100 years, coal from mines peppered across the province have kept the lights on here. A cheap and reliable source of power that gave the province's industries an edge and kept power bills low. It's a long tradition that continues today.
On a crisp winter day along the sun-kissed banks of Battle River, in central Alberta, the province's oldest coal-fired power plant chugs along. Originally built in 1954, ATCO Power's aptly named Battle River Generating Station can turn out 689 megawatts of power.

Global NewsThe Alberta government says it will provide more than $5 million to help municipalities cover the cost of installing solar panels.
The money is to defray the cost of setting up solar power in buildings such as offices, fire halls and community centres.
The Alberta Municipal Solar Program will provide rebates of up to 75 cents per watt, to a maximum of $300,000 per project. It opens for applications on March 1.

Calgary SunThe battle over power and gas contracts is heating up in Alberta.
Calgary-based ATCO Group is getting back into retail power and natural gas contracts after 13 years — going head-to-head with private Direct Energy and city-owned Enmax in a new company, with a vow to never sell its products door-to-door.

Lethbridge Herald Alberta's plans for wind energy are a sign the province is becoming part of a larger global movement toward renewables, says the president of Canada's wind energy association.
"Wind is now very much a mainstream power generation technology," said Robert Hornung, president of Canadian Wind Energy Association.
"Today, wind energy is competitive with any form of electricity generation with the potential exception of natural gas," he added.

Alberta Farmer ExpressA new co-op plans to develop the first community-owned solar farm on the Prairies — a 12-acre block of solar panels to be located in Starland County.
But the ultimate goal is much larger — to create a model that can be replicated across the province. "We're excited that we can be a good host to the first project of this kind in Alberta and Western Canada," said Jordan Webber, economic development officer for Starland County and a director of the Alberta Solar Co-op.

Saskatoon StarPhoenixA City of Saskatoon report proposes burning elm wood for heat rather than burying it at the landfill.
The city might already have a partner interested in the idea — the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre.
Due to the threat posed by Dutch elm disease, provincial regulations prohibit disposing of elm trees in any other way than burying them or burning them. Elm trees, for example, cannot be legally composted like many other plants.
